Club América had the heavy departure of Jonathan Rodríguez in March of this year. Although the azulcrema team fell in the Concachampions, those led by André Jardine still have a good chance of winning the Clausura 2024. But “Cabecita” has not had the same fortune in the United States.
The Uruguayan striker made the difficult decision to leave Club América. The Copa América is about to begin and Rodríguez was looking to show himself to enter the call for the Uruguayan national team.
But not everything went smoothly for the “Charrúa” striker. Jonathan Rodríguez went from fighting for the Liga MX championship to fight to achieve a victory with Portland Timbers.
Jonathan Rodríguez far from victory
The data is raw: In all the games in which Jonathan Rodríguez has played, Portland Timbers have not been able to win. In total, “Cabecita” has played six games with the MLS team.
The former forward of the azulcrema team has participated in the 1-3 losses against Philadelphia Union; 3-2 against Vancouver Whitecaps and 3-2 against Los Angeles FC. In addition, the Uruguayan also played in the 3-3 draws against Kansas City; 2-2 against Los Angeles FC and 2-2 against Columbus Crew.
In all these games the South American forward has added minutes. In general terms, “Cabecita” accumulates 505 minutes on the field in which he has been able to score 2 goals and concede 1 assist.
14 clubs participate in the Western Conference. Portland Timbers are in 11th position with 10 points accumulated so far this season. So far, Rodríguez’s strategy is not working. It is evident that poor collective performance affects your individual performance. The Copa América is just around the corner and “Cabecita” has not yet taken off with its team in the United States.
